The newest propaganda from the corporate elite is working too well. People who would not accept the illegal Vietnam war are now willing to condone or endorse more than 30 illegal, unprovoked economic and military wars of choice against smaller and less powerful nations who have not attacked us.

What have we become? Too many of the people who stood up for peace when we were in Vietnam, have now chosen to remain silent. These unprovoked American wars about extraction, exploitation and extortion which expanded under Obama have continued to expand under huckster and con-man D. J. Trump. (The new “Don” of organized crime)

Where have the peacemakers gone?

If there was ever a time to speak up, this is the time. We have become the aggressor in 30 avoidable wars. These avoidable conflicts cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives. These unnecessary wars of aggression create new enemies while making us demonstrably less secure.

We have not, will not and cannot “win” wars against dozens of smaller and less powerful nations who have not attacked us. A surrender to unnecessary war is a losing proposition.

In most areas of economic policy, most progressives agree more than they disagree.
But too many people with good hearts refuse to face facts about the last 10 plus years. This studious ignorance is frustrating and fatal.

No sane person can call this surrender to expanding wars “good leadership.”

During his time in office Obama bombed more than TEN sovereign states: Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, the Philippines, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Yemen and Kandahar.

None of these nations attacked us.

These attacks on smaller and less powerful nations (mostly people of color) involve more violence than any of Obama’s predecessors since World War II. Most violate International Treaties, U. S. Civil Law, the war powers act and the constitution

Most Americans do not hate the former president, but we despise how congress and Obama spent trillions killing millions for billionaires instead of attending to the peoples’ business.

Barack Obama refused to govern. Instead, he allowed the CIA, the Pentagon, war-hawks and profiteers to bankrupt the nation with endless, expanding and increasing wars of economic, military and corporate aggression.

We have become the primary source of terror, munitions and war on the planet. This matters. No thinking person can condone what the Obama administration has done to this nation and the planet.

The U. S. A. has now become Murder, Inc. The new Don of this organized crime syndicate, D.J. Trump, is now on board for dozens of expanding wars and bankruptcy.

Obama’s refusal to govern was dangerous and disappointing. He allowed the CIA and Pentagon to America from 4 avoidable wars into 30 unnecessary wars.Sigh.

I voted for him once. But he stabbed us in the back and expects us to thank him for pulling the knife out halfway. No more “lesser-evil” for me.

Obama surrendered to the corporate elite. Liberal apologies for Obama’s bloody eight years cannot change facts on the ground. We have created millions of new enemies, incurred trillions in new debt and are demonstrably less secure. This is a big part of how Trump the racist chump got elected.

American military misadventures have bankrupted the nation. If these more than two dozen simultaneous and expanding wars continue… we will be in full retreat from more than 900 military bases while dead oceans become seas rising to flood all shores.

Our President could have been Jill Stein

“My Power to the People Plan creates deep system change, moving from the greed and exploitation of corporate capitalism to a human-centered economy that puts people, planet and peace over profit.

It offers direct answers to the economic, social, and ecological crises brought on by both corporate political parties. And it empowers the American people to fix our broken political system and make real the promise of democracy.

This plan will end unemployment and poverty; avert climate catastrophe; build a sustainable, just economy; and recognize the dignity and human rights of everyone in our society and our world. The power to create this new world is not in our hopes, it’s not in our dreams – it’s in our hands.”
